Training in The 'Realm of Time'

************

Few months passed by, John was training with Rico in the 'Realm of Time'.

According to Rico, there was a whole new world inside the 'Dimension of Time' called 'Realm of Time'.

'Realm of Time' looked similar to grand canyons of 'Living Realm'. John was meditating on the edge of a plateau. He was surrounded by a deep sky blue aura while Rico was observing him from far apart. John suddenly opened his eyes as the aura around him disappeared.

"So, you have mastered it.", Rico commented.

****************

Few months ago, before the beginning of the training.

"How exactly are we gonna train?", John asked.

"In the 'Realm of Time'."

"Realm of time? What does that mean?", John asked again after hearing a confusing answer from Rico.

"Let me fill you in. There are three realms that exists in this universe.

First: Living Realm

This realm is the universe made up of three dimensions, the universe you are familiar with.

Second: Realm of Time

The fourth dimension is the 'Dimension of Time'. We Shatrus can see, physically touch and control the dimension of time to an extent. There is yet another world existing inside the fourth dimension, the 'Realm of Time'. Person who is able to access the 'Realm of Time' borns once in a century in our planet. Mysteriously enough, this time there were two. Me and my older brother, Pica. We are gonna train in that realm.

There exists another realm that goes beyond the 'Realm of Time'.

The Third Realm: Realm of Gods

No one knows much about this realm for no one can even see that realm. It is said

the ones who reside there are Gods, the creator of the universe itself.

Understood??", Seto asked after explaining the realms to John.

"Umm..Yeah, I guess.", replied John.

"Now I am gonna open the portal to the 'Realm of Time', step back."

John did as he was told. He could see Rico closing his eyes. As soon as Rico closed his eyes, John realized something weird. There was an eerie silence in the environment. As he moved his torso back and looked behind, he saw Rico and Seto fighting. It was as if a recording of the fight between Seto and Rico was being played infront of him but in reverse. It didn't take him too long to realize that time itself was moving back. He understood it was because Rico was trying to open the portal. It was like Rico making a hole on the 'Dimension of Time'. It was affecting the dimension.

"It's open, John. Let's enter."

John looked behind him once again as he heard those words of Rico. The portal was opened. John hesitated at first but he soon entered afterwards. After John entered Rico entered too and closed the portal. There was a dark tunnel. Only a small, straight and narrow path was visible.

"Let's keep walking, John. Soon we will be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel."

Rico was on the lead and John was following him. They kept walking on and on.

*********

It was already three hours and still they hadn't reached the end. John was feeling exhausted. His legs were already tired. On the other hand, Rico wasn't even a bit tired. He had already walked this path multiple times and he was sure the end of tunnel was coming near. Suddenly, a beam of light fell on his face. He was smiling as he called out John.

"There it is. The end of the tunnel.".

John was happy and finally relieved. He kneeled down on the ground.

"Hah...finally made it.", John let out a deep breath.

"Come on, John. Rest after we enter the Realm of Time.", said Rico while heading towards the end. John stood up at once and started following John. They finally got out of the tunnel. In front of John was a world that looked like grand canyons of the 'Living Realm' but it gave off a mysterious vibe.

"Woah....this world looks like a canyon.", John exclaimed in awe.

"It's not the entirety of 'Realm of Time'. It's just a part of it and time moves slowly here compared to other parts. One month here equals to one day in the 'Living Realm'. You will train for three years here. It will be equal to 36 days in the 'Living Realm'".

"....."

"Rest for a while. After that, you will be fighting with someone."

John's eyes popped out as he heard Rico.

"Don't tell me, it will be you.", John asked.

"No. It will be someone else.", Rico replied.
